Note To Readers From The Road

TMV in his other incarnation is on the road, appearing at a fair in Nebraska.

We’re still doing our posts from the road but due to our schedule and our severe transmission problems you may see fewer by TMV himself.

But keep checking back since our co-bloggers are posting some provocative material. And a word on that:

When TMV was permanent weekend guest blogger for more than a year on Dean’s World Dean Esmay was nice enough to basically turn over his whole blog to him on weekends. Not once did he try to interfere with TMV’s expression of his ideas, which sometimes didn’t totally mesh with Dean’s World. But it was a constructive experience for TMV and for DW’s readers because — as we always say — an idea or two that you don’t agree with really is not harmful.

We’re basically using the same approach here. On blogs you don’t (and really can’t) serve as an editor and since there are so many news stories once a post is up, it’s then time to move onto another. BUT we do encourage readers to use the comments to fully and bluntly express their views (and for readers to read the comments left by others).

We get them, including some suggestions. And perhaps soon Dell will make one small enough for me to stick up there.

And if there is a reader that feels passionately about an issue who doesn’t have a blog at times we have invited them to do a Guest Voice post.

So have patience over the next few days if our story/post mix is a bit unusual or on some days slower. Keep checking back. Read (and react to in comments) our co-bloggers. And remember, if you don’t see many posts from yours truly it’s due to some transmission problems.

PS: In answser to several emails, if you scroll down and look at the yellow column on the bottom right you’ll see you can subscribe to this blog’s posts by email.
